Cops use tear gas to disperse anti-Trump crowd in Los Angeles - Day of action comes after week-long protests in Los Angeles against Trump’s hard-line immigration policies and ICE raids on immigrants

Protesters across Southern California and the country took to the streets for ‘No Kings’ demonstrations against President Trump and the $45-million celebration of the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday, which coincides with Trump’s 79th.

The organized opposition was timed for the day President Trump is hosting a rare U.S. military parade in Washington that's taking place on his 79th birthday.

The Michiana Alliance for Democracy brought the No Kings protest to South Bend as part of a nationwide effort to criticize Trump’s military parade in Washington, D.C., on the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army's founding and on Flag Day, as well as Trump's 79th birthday.

“The most threatening sound to an oligarch is laughter.”

Thousands gathered in Daley Plaza and in suburban events in protests timed to coincide with a military parade in Washington celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary and President Donald Trump's 79th birthday.

Around 2,000 protests were planned on Saturday in opposition to President Donald Trump. Large crowds turned out in cities like Portland, Denver, Chicago, Houston and Los Angeles – and in smaller communities in traditionally conservative areas.

Tens of thousands of Americans joined "No Kings" protests across the United States against the Trump administration.
